Dive into surfing perfection with the Mid 6 Mini Twin
Crafted for those who crave agility and speed, this board offers the perfect blend of style and performance. With a compact 6’10” length and a pronounced shape curve, it’s ideal for tackling smaller pockets and thriving in a twin fin setup. Designed to pair with the FCS2 Power Twin fin set, this beauty promises unmatched fun in the water.
The Mid 6 is engineered for maximum performance across all wave types. Its fine, round pin tail, curvy plan shape, and smooth rocker ensure comfort whether turning deep in the pocket or riding long open-face arcs. Experience a balance of drive and hold, thanks to its high nose rails and foiled tail.
With the channels perfectly tuned, you’ll find it easy to break a line or adjust your arc length. Feel the immediate response as you push hard through a turn, offering a thrill like no other.
Ready to conquer any wave, the Mid 6 Mini Twin proves its worth in any condition.

I love surf shops!
They are the heart and soul of the surfing community.
I hope you can join me this coming Friday at Central coast Surfboards for an awesome evening of storytelling and good vibes.
I will be sharing stories from Surfer’s Code – 20th Anniversary Edition - and showing the classic surf doco - Bustin' down the Door.
Stoked to hear Kelly Slater GOAT call the book: "An all-time surfing classic with lessons uncovered from a lifetime on the waves."
"The reading of a book can be a life-changing experience. Books can give us comfort in tough times, and give us hope in days of despair. Books can also offer up a different perspective that can reshape one's world view. I love the power of words and how we can all use our own words to transform our own lives if we make the promise, and carry through on the commitment.
Surfer's Code, my first book, will always have a special place in my heart. The book transformed my life and took me down an unexpected and enriching path of empowerment and education. Cell phones and social media have disconnected us from each other. Stories bring us together into a community, like listening around a campfire.
I remember the first surf film I watched, and the experience was like a gathering of a tribe. I like to think I carry on the tradition of telling surf stories like the personal narration that Bruce Brown did when he started showing the Endless Summer. In today’s broken world we need to bring people together and stories told face to face, heart to heart and soul to soul are the way to do it.” Shaun
Hope you can join me:

Knowledge is power! This method seriously works great, even without step one which most would say is crucial but risky! Start out with that basecoat using a crisscross pattern from top of your board to the bottom, follow that up with a little Foo Wax (little goes a long way, the texture is like Play-Doh) Then you want to use the top coat of choice in circle shape pattern to get some insane bumps!! 😎👌 #surfwax #sexwax #kellymethod #surfshop #surftips

Somewhere between the horizon and the next set —
a few frames worth keeping.
Every time I post here I spend a day or two organizing and editing, mixing with motion, trying to find what fits together.
Not just sharing cool photos, but tell the story inside a frame.
It’s lots of “work” for a post you might say but for me it’s always worth it. Feels like putting together a tiny exhibition.
